A Brooklyn resident was arrested after an incident at a Killingly church where state police say the man stripped and presented himself nude to congregants and a group of school students.

Officers were called to St. James Catholic Church around 1:45 p.m. Wednesday. A caller reported the suspect disrobed and entered the Water Street church, police said in a press release.

Gary Pohronezny, 41, of 70 Proulx St., Brooklyn, was arrested after failing to comply with several directives given to him by troopers. He was charged with disorderly conduct, risk of injury to minors, and interfering with police. He is scheduled to appear in Danielson Superior Court on Jan. 10.

Pohronezny was taken to Day Kimball Hospital in Putnam for evaluation, police said.
